Chapter 42: Inquire about the past in Lingtai City

Lingtai belongs to a county seat in Pingliang, although it is not very prosperous, but the city is still crowded with people, and the traffic is busy.

On both sides of the road, restaurants, teahouses, and silk inns are scattered.

After Feng Qingyi left the Pavilion, he joined several disciples in the gate in the town under the mountain, and then came here.

In front of the roadside porridge stall, a simple shed was erected, and some customers sat on the wooden tables below.

The sparkling white porridge, the crispy and delicious baked cakes, and the pickled vegetables at home are indescribably satisfying in a meal.

On the square table, Feng Qingyi drank the last mouthful of porridge, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

"Have you eaten all of them? After eating, we will go separately to inquire about things, and when we are done, friends will come to the inn to meet. ”

The six disciples of the sect got up in unison, picked up their swords and dispersed to different places.

The old man who sold the porridge was frightened by this situation, and the iron spoon containing the porridge seemed to be a little unstable. Be cautious and busy, for fear of getting into trouble.

Feng Qingyi's leisurely fingertips tapped on the tabletop, staring at the crowd on the street for a long time, and then looked at the old man who was busy back and forth.

"Uncle, dare to ask how many years have you been selling porridge in this Lingtai City?"

When the old man who sold porridge heard that he was so polite, his words were full of respect, but he was not as apprehensive as before.

"I've been selling porridge in the city for some years! Before a little doll like you was born, I started selling porridge to support my family. ”

There was a little pride in the old man's words, which caused Feng Qingyi to chuckle. Thinking about it, this old man must not know that he is a cultivator, so he feels that he is still in the age of a weak crown.

"No wonder the old man's porridge is so refreshing and soft. By the way, uncle, I want to inquire about something in your land, I don't know if it's okay?"

The old man added water to the basin, put the used bowl and spoon into the basin, and wiped his hands.

"I wonder what the little boy wants to inquire about?"

The people who drank porridge left one after another, and seeing that he was no longer busy, Feng Qingyi beckoned him to sit down at his table.

"Please take a seat! Actually, it's not a big deal, since the old man has been selling porridge here for many years, have you heard about the Shangguan family ten years ago?"

The old man's hand couldn't help but tremble twice, and his eyes were full of confusion when he looked at him.

"Isn't it the little boy who is also a cultivator who asks?"

"Exactly!"

After he finished answering, the old man sighed deeply and looked sorry.

Ten years ago, there were demons and evil spirits in Lingtai, and Shangguan's family was brutally murdered by demons and evil spirits, and more than 170 people in the door were all killed on the spot.

Fortunately, an immortal lord who was stationed in Pingliang at that time came with his disciples. Rather, lest all our city shall be afflicted. ”

Feng Qingyi couldn't help but feel a little strange about his words.

"Listening to what the old man meant, wasn't it true that only the Shangguan family suffered back then?"

"Yes, listening to the villagers who live around Shangguan Mansion, all that night came from the entire mansion were screams and the roars of many monsters.

It didn't take long for someone from the Pingliang Immortal Gate to come and get rid of the demons. After dawn, the bodies of the Shangguan family were burned, and a feng shui treasure was found on the hillside in the suburbs for burial.

Alas~ It's really unfair, Shangguan's family has always accumulated virtue and done good, but they ended up like this. ”

The old man regretfully got up and returned to the wooden basin full of dirty dishes, and cleaned the dishes, chopsticks and spoons. Feng Qingyi then got up and left the porridge stall and walked towards the Youlai Inn.

On the dining table of the Drunken Immortal Building, three men in white clothes fluttering in the wind with jade trees in the wind have become a unique scenery in the building.

Shi Fenglian looked at his brother's greedy appearance opposite, his face was full of disgust, and he couldn't help but look at Shi Xingjian on the side.

"Senior brother, didn't you say that Master told us to return to our careers as soon as we finished the things we had explained, why did we stay in the Pingliang Realm?"

Shi Xingjian picked up a piece of fresh pork ribs and put it into the Shifeng Lian bowl, feeling helpless about his peace and self-control.

"Feng Lian doesn't need to worry too much, I have already told Master that he will return a few days later. What's more, you and Yunya have been staying in Wenling, and you should always travel around and learn more about the world.

It's good to be a good person, but sometimes you have to know how to be flexible, and you can't always be the same. ”

Shi Fenglian looked at the food in the bowl and frowned, although he was accompanied by his senior brother and younger brother, but he really didn't want to stay outside, only the tide career made him feel down-to-earth.

But seeing Shi Xingjian so calmly, he didn't say anything anymore.

Shi Yunya had a special headache for him, and couldn't help but put down his chopsticks.

"Brother, can you not always rely too much on Senior Brother? No matter when, you always do what others say!

Yes, it's hard to disobey the teacher's order, but you always have to be flexible. What will you do when you are alone in the future? Senior brother can't guard you forever!"

Shi Feng Lian glared at him angrily and began to eat. He is not as sharp as Yun Yaling, so naturally he can't argue with him, and he can only be depressed alone every time.

"Okay Yunya, you know that Feng Lian can't say anything about you, and you always bully him.

Feng Lian, although some of the words Yun Ya said were more direct, they were not unreasonable. No matter what happens in the future, on the premise of not violating morality, don't always obey the law, but learn to adapt to the situation.

I can accompany you for a while, but I can't accompany you for a lifetime, and you still need to deal with it independently in the days to come. ”

Shi Fenglian put down the chopsticks in his hand a little nervously, held his forearm, and unconsciously raised his voice.

"What do you mean by this, senior brother? We are in the same family, how can we not be together for a lifetime?"

Some of the surrounding guests who were eating suddenly stopped their chopsticks and looked at them with a strange look.

Shi Yunya bit his tongue because of his words, covered his mouth in pain, and couldn't understand what was said.

After a moment's pause, he picked up the teacup next to him and rinsed his mouth.

"Brother, you really don't speak, once you speak, it's really lethal.

Have you forgotten that we are the ones who ask the Immortal Question. The senior brother's cultivation has reached the realm of the Yuan Infant, and the ascension of the senior brother's comprehension is just around the corner.

If you don't cultivate well, if your senior brother soars to immortality one day, won't he be able to accompany you anymore?"

Shi Fenglian let go of the hand holding his forearm with some shame, held the chopsticks and poked at the food in the bowl, and couldn't help but glance at the younger brother sitting opposite, and his heart was even more uneven.

He didn't understand why he was so different from his younger brother when he was obviously the brother of the same mother's cousin! Unconsciously, his eyes were a little dim, and he even hid some unwillingness.

He also wants to be an independent person, and he also wants to reach out to people other than his brother and brother. But every time he tries to get in touch with other people, he always has a very unsteady feeling!

The feeling made him so unhappy that he became less and less willing to interact with others.

Seeing the unwillingness flashing in his eyes, Shi Xingjian raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think nonsense, I am your senior brother, Yunya is your mother's brother, we are all your closest people. ”
